The Seismic Audio Quake 6" replacement drivers deliver reliable performance for DIY speaker builders and repair technicians who need quality components at a practical price. This pair of 8-ohm woofers handles the critical midrange frequencies that define vocal clarity and instrument presence in live sound applications.

Each driver produces 50 watts RMS with 100-watt peak handling, giving you clean output without distortion when properly matched to your amplifier. The 500Hz to 5kHz frequency response targets the essential vocal and instrument range, while 95dB sensitivity ensures efficient power conversion for strong output levels.

The pressed steel chassis provides durability for touring applications, while the 30-ounce magnet and 1.5-inch voice coil deliver consistent performance under continuous use. At 4 pounds each, these drivers offer substantial construction without excessive cabinet weight. The paper cone design provides natural midrange warmth that works well for vocal monitors, guitar cabinets, and small venue PA systems.

Use these drivers for building custom floor monitors, replacing blown woofers in existing cabinets, or constructing compact PA speakers for coffee houses and small clubs. They work well in cabinets designed for venues up to 150 people when paired with appropriate tweeters and crossovers.

Installation requires basic woodworking skills and appropriate cabinet design. Each driver includes mounting hardware and connects via standard speaker wire terminals. Seismic Audio backs these replacement drivers with a one-year warranty and ships them ready to install.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What size venues can I cover with these 6-inch drivers?

These drivers work well for intimate venues up to 150 people when properly configured in a complete speaker system with tweeters and crossovers. They excel in coffee houses, small clubs, rehearsal spaces, and home studios where vocal clarity is essential. For larger venues, consider multiple cabinets or larger drivers.

Can I use these drivers to replace blown speakers in my existing cabinets?

Yes, these are direct replacements for most 6-inch, 8-ohm woofers with similar mounting dimensions. Check your original driver's impedance and power handling to ensure compatibility. The pressed steel frame and standard mounting pattern fit most guitar amplifier cabinets and small PA enclosures.

What crossover frequency should I use with these drivers?

The 500Hz to 5kHz response range works well with crossover points around 2.5kHz to 3kHz when paired with tweeters. For guitar applications without tweeters, you can run these full-range, though you'll lose high-frequency extension above 5kHz. Consult your cabinet design specifications for optimal crossover settings.

Do I need to buy additional mounting hardware or cables?

The drivers include standard mounting screws and connect via bare speaker wire to the terminals on the back. You'll need appropriate speaker wire (14-16 gauge recommended) and basic tools for installation. No additional crossover components are included - purchase separately based on your cabinet design.

How do these compare to original equipment drivers in commercial speakers?

These replacement drivers offer comparable performance to factory drivers found in entry-level to mid-range PA speakers and guitar cabinets. The 30-ounce magnet and steel frame construction matches or exceeds many original equipment specifications, making them reliable long-term replacements at a fraction of OEM pricing.
